The historical books, from Joshua to Ezra and Nehemiah, form the
narrative backbone of the Old Testament. Without them the
Pentateuch would stop cold and the Prophets would hang in
suspension. Even the Psalms and Wisdom literature would lose some
of their luster for lack of a setting. Without these historical
books the New Testament would be resolving an incomplete narrative,
answering a question only half and hesitantly posed. For all these
reasons and more, it is a tragic fact that many of us today cannot
give a brief and coherent account of this story. We fear that books
with names like Judges, Kings and Chronicles would bore us. But
nothing could be further from the truth. For the story they tell is
full of action and intrigue, tragedy and suspense, vivid characters
and memorable events. They are the stuff of great art and
literature, and they have inspired men and women to lives and deeds
of uncommon faith and courage. Exploring these books is essential
for a true education, whether religious or otherwise. In this
guidebook, Philip E. Satterthwaite and J. Gordon McConville
introduce us to the content and the context of these historical
books. We view them within the setting of ancient history and
history writing, and come to appreciate their literary artistry,
their role within the Scriptures of Israel, and their lasting value
as theological and ethical resources. Designed especially for
students, Exploring the Old Testament, Volume 2: A Guide to the
Historical Books overflows with interesting and helpful features
that encourage avid exploration and the joy of learning.
